It’s your choice.

I have thought long and hard about a lot of things. Since you have never really asked me for anything, nor reproached me for anything, your requests have a great deal of weight with me.

I’ve always loved you as your mother, but let me say, I admire your person very much. You are becoming an individual I think people will take note of, and admire. These will also be those who do not like you, or admire you; and it is inevitable, if you are to be a true person, that will be true. The more true you are to yourself, the more there will be those jealous or not understanding. It’s a choice you make.

Well, I think some people don’t know who their true self is. For all I know, everything I do is simply a reaction to my parents and not who I ought to be. Or maybe that is who I am… this path goes in circles.
